Bestselling author Peter Voogd talks about why NOW matters in attaining the success you’ve dreamed of. The #1 reason people aren’t achieving the success they’re truly capable of is they’ve never told themselves NOW matters. This ‘someday’ mentality is killing so many dreams and goals. In fact, Peter puts it near the top of the list of reasons why our society is filled with regret, frustration, stress, and unfulfilled potential. Unfortunately a lot of people live on "Someday Isle." “Someday I'll be successful…" Get off the "Someday I'll" island. Expect more for yourself and understand that if you want to be successful it starts with urgency and understanding now matters more than ever.

Bestselling author Peter Voogd talks about why you must shift your circle of influence in order to reach the level of success you want. Having the proper circle of influence elevates your standards, while having the wrong circle of influence will pull you away from your ultimate goals in life. As difficult as it sounds, the reality is you have to evaluate those with whom you surround yourself, and if you want to elevate your income then you must elevate who you associate with.

Bestselling author Peter Voogd talks about what it means to go against the grain in order to attain the level of success you clearly envisioned, in the timeframe you have set for yourself. Too often we have the mindset that we have to nail it right away, and want success to happen overnight. Peter reminds us to be patient because greatness really does take time. Just stay focused daily, and instead of trying to compare yourself to others, go against the grain and figure out what differentiates you.

Bestselling author Peter Voogd talks about the first step in your journey towards success: getting absolute clarity. Success can be achieved by everyone, and the first step is absolute clarity. Get clear on who you ARE, who you're NOT, and who you NEED.

Time is a limited resource. You can't add more time to your day, but you can multiply it. Find out how from bestselling author Rory Vaden in his book "Procrastinate on Purpose." Rory introduces a new, innovative concept of learning how to “multiply your time” today, and create even more time for you tomorrow.

Rory Vaden talks about what it truly means to Procrastinate On Purpose. There is a massive difference between waiting to do something because you don't feel like doing it, versus waiting to do something because you are deciding now is not the right time. Procrastinating on purpose as Rory teaches is about how you can start living a life of significance by multiplying your time and purposely utilizing your greatest asset that is worth more than money itself – which is your time.

Rory Vaden talks about the segments of the “Focus Funnel”: Eliminate, Automate, Delegate, and Concentrate. The Focus Funnel guides you in multiplying your time for the long term and also helps you focus on whatever your next most significant priority is. Multipliers realize that 70% done by someone else today is better than 100% done by me, and anything that you can create a process for today saves you time tomorrow.

Rory Vaden says everything you know about time management is wrong. Time management isn't logical, it's emotional. It's not about fitting more in and doing more, or doing less, it's about accomplishing results that matter to you. It's about a life of significance, spending my life doing things today that will really matter tomorrow.

Rory Vaden talks about the problem with most time management strategies…that prioritizing doesn't create more time. You can't solve today's time management problems with yesterday's time management thinking. The old way of thinking only fosters an inappropriate amount of weight on urgency - what matters now - which then puts us in a state of stress from the start. Rory introduces a new, innovative concept of learning how to “multiply your time” today, and create even more time for you tomorrow.
